this renders the same in the manpage and a little more clearly in the
html manual. in the manpage there continues to be no distinction from
regular text, the html manual gets code-type markup (which was probably
the intention for most of these uses anyway).
Other popular distros (OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch) read $HOME/.profile when starting X11 display managers.
When moving to nixOS, that is then broken leading to unpredictable behavior (probably programs not working).
This adds similar behavior to https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/develop/data/scripts/Xsession

now nix-doc-munge will not introduce whitespace changes when it replaces
manpage references with the MD equivalent.
no change to the manpage, changes to the HTML manual are whitespace only.
Upstream XMonad was using our xmonad patch file for their flake build to
support our nixos module. This would of course break the build upstream
if the version we patched and their master branch diverged. We
[discussed] that it'd make sense to upstream the environment var code.
In the process it seemed sensible to rename the NIX_GHC variable as
well, since it isn't really Nix-specific – it's just a way to set the
GHC binary to execute. This change has been [implemented] upstream in an
unreleased version of xmonad now – meaning we'll be able to drop the
xmonad patch soon!
This also clarifies the situation in nixpkgs a bit: NIX_GHC is easy to
confuse with the environment variable used in the ghcWithPackages
wrapper where it is used to set an alternative prefix for a GHC-wrapper
for applications trying to discover it via e.g. ghc-paths. It is an
implementation detail in this context, as it is in the case of the
xmonad module. Since they are different implementations doing different
things, different names also make sense.

our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
Running `nixos/tests/keepassxc.nix` shows:

machine # [ 18.705390] xsession[985]: /nix/store/2g2jx5c6x3p152wbiijr0rmky7byqivc-xsession: line 13: nn: command not found
```
This garbled bash script runs without `set -o errexit` and thus skips
"\n\n" as invalid command:
```
$ cat -n /nix/store/2g2jx5c6x3p152wbiijr0rmky7byqivc-xsession
...
\n\n
if [ -e $HOME/.background-image ]; then
/nix/store/wq1d1ph8wj4alpx78akvpbd0a0m9qkd1-feh-3.8/bin/feh --bg-scale $HOME/.background-image
fi
...
```
KeePassXC uses it through
`nixos/modules/services/x11/display-managers/default.nix`:
```
...
# Script responsible for starting the window manager and the desktop manager.
xsession = dm: wm: pkgs.writeScript "xsession" ''
#! ${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash
# Legacy session script used to construct .desktop files from
# `services.xserver.displayManager.session` entries. Called from
# `sessionWrapper`.
# Start the window manager.
${wm.start}
# Start the desktop manager.
${dm.start}
...
'';
...
```
The bogus line was introduced in PR #160752:

desktop manager script: start properly
Adds a missing line feed when X is enabled to the start script name
and the appended if check. Resolves#160735
```
I have not tried to reproduce the original issue and thus don't know
why "\n\n" apparently gets interpreted fine in one place but remains
literal the `xsession` case.
However, using a literal newline must be valid for all cases and
certainly fixes the warning seen in KeePassXC tests.
Furthermore, starting the nix string (`''`) with a newline as usual also
fixes its overall indentation.
- Add a module for the thunar file manager, which depends on the xfconf dbus service, and also has a dbus service and a systemd unit.
- Renames the option services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce.thunarPlugins to programs.thunar.plugins.
It is already installed by xdg.icons.enable.
Let’s also enable that option explicitly to prevent users from accidentally
disabling it since GNOME will be severely broken without it.

switchboard-plug-power is providing support for this since 2.7.0.
Note that we don't handle the conflict with tlp because we have
no way of knowing which way a user wants to resolve the conflict.
Recent `wrapGAppsHook` change stops `adwaita-icon-theme` from being added to `XDG_DATA_DIRS`:
b1e73fa2e0
Since `display-manager.service` does not have `/run/current-system/sw/share` in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`, it does not pick up the globally installed icon theme either, preventing icons from showing.
Let’s make Adwaita available to fix that for now.

network-manager-applet uses differrent naming scheme from the VPN plug-ins.
Let’s revert to the previous state, for now, to fix eval. We can do the rename later.
This reverts commit cecb014d5d.
There is no need to install them when they will not be picked up
by the Appearance panel of GNOME Control Center without
a XML metadata file anyway.
They will be pulled into the closure via overrides
so that is not a concern either.
This reverts commit 7f3bc5b8fa.
This reverts commit fa607bc939.
`fcitx5` and `service.earlyoom` rely on use XDG autostart files to start.
But for X session with only window manager and no desktop manager
(`none` is used), no one can start them.
This options is added to run these autostart files for sessions without
desktop manager to make other services just work.
GNOME 42 needs two wallpaper pictures – for the default (light)
colour scheme and for the dark one. Because we are clearing out
the paths in `gsettings-desktop-schemas` to prevent closure
from bloating, we need to set them in the NixOS module.
Since the wallpaper for the default colour scheme is dark,
will relegate it to the dark colour scheme and switch
to a light blue variant for the default colour scheme.
That one has inverted roundel for the NixOS logo but
it is the only light-ish background that has the logo
of the same size and placing as the dark wallpaper.
